frienda mine has a
very strong
427 in a 55 2nd w/ a 4spd and basicly stock front cept for a tilt column and rag joint - seen him lift the front wheels easily and high

- he's had trouble w/ front hubs/bearings, tho' that's prolly cuz front tires too fat. and maybe cuz he tends to wheelie regular
he's been planning to clip the front, including power steering, but just moved to CA so no tellin when he'll get to it
